The useSendfile relates to connectors, the configuration I understand is needed is in under Engine > Host > Context (<Context docBase="../../work/bundles" path="/bundles")
Can you explain how the " useSendfile" relates to static files? Is the configuration I am using correct? Or is there another way to configure the use of static files?

As far as I know, there is no limit (on the Tomcat side) for *downloading* files. > Is it recommended to use apache-tomcat for this (currently we download with > using ftp server embedded into our product, but it is too heavy)? > What do you mean by "too heavy" ? at the level of the client, or the server ? (or the bandwidth of your communication channel client(s)<->server ?) I don't think that this would be either recommended or not recommended. It is something that you /can/ do with Tomcat (or any other webserver). If these are always large static files, you may want to look at a parameter somewhere named "useSendFile" or similar, probably in the <Connector> documentation. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
